Even the weakest weapons in Conan Exiles can still be threatening, so make sure you have good armor and maybe even some extra healing. Not only will you need late game gear, but you have to prepare for a fight. Knocking down even the simplest of walls will require weapons from late in the game, such as the Longsword.
One of the draws of these open world games is raiding your enemies, knocking down their buildings and taking their stockpiles of items.Īlthough you can still do it, you'll need to wait and be very prepared before beginning. If you're playing with some friends, have everyone spread out their research unlocks, that way you can access to more recipes without constantly needing to respec your character. You can reset your research, but that's not always a fun or convenient want to unlock what you want. This means that there is a max to how many stat points and research points you will unlock.Ĭurrently, this means one character can't have all research. The warrior and archers will defend your base from anyone not in your clan, while some thralls are crafters who need to be set up on Blacksmith tables and so on, aiding in your crafting. There are multiple kinds, so be mindful of what one you have. Once the Thrall is ready, you can carry them in your inventory and place them anywhere in your camp. You can also use normal food during this process, but that is considerably more costly due to how much harder it is to obtain quality meat over seeds. This will activate the Wheel of Pain and begin turning the NPC into a slave (thrall). This will cook into a soup substance called Gruel. At a Campfire, put in Seeds and Plant Fiber. Drag them to the Lesser wheel of Pain, and they should automatically be assigned to it. Use the Fiber Bindings on the person and you can now drag them back to base. Beat them up with the Truncheon and they will fall unconscious. Once you have it, build the three items it unlocked, the Fiber Bindings, Truncheon and Lesser Wheel of Pain.Įquip the Truncheon and Fiber Binding then go look for some NPCs. You can! The first step is unlocking the Thrall Taker technology.
Did you know, you can actually make them work for you though? When you meet them, you likely kill them back. There is quite a bit of randomness to these kinds of items, so make sure to be diligent when hunting for them as it might take a few extra swings before you get one to drop.Īs you explore, you'll surely find the many hostile NPCs who want nothing more than to kill you. For instance, rocks will occasionally drop iron, while trees can drop Bark, but only if you hit them with something other than an axe. Also, you're far less likely to die to other players, when the other players are constantly dying to random monsters!Īnother easy to gloss over fact, some resources have rare loot drops that are triggered randomly, or when mined by a specific tool. Try to set up new bases in these hostile areas, and you'll be able to reap the rewards as resources are more plentiful.
There are several distinct areas, such as the dunes filled with Spiders, or the ruins filled with skeletal corpses.Īs you level up, acquire new gear and more allies, it will be up to you to push further and further inland. From here, the difficulty of enemies will ramp up as you head North-West. This is filled with weak creatures and also the area that new players spawn. The lowest level area is in the South-East. Something that you might not realize for a long time, is that the world of Conan Exiles has a clear difficulty curve that you are meant to progress through. The Map is Split into Different Difficulty Zones The moral of the story? Cook your food as soon as you get it, then store it away for later! However, if you cook the food, it will stay edible almost indefinitely. Any raw food you have will spoil rather quickly.
This is pretty straight forward, but can be overlooked easily enough.
